Fantom G test mode?

Is there a way to get the G into testmode, like the Fantom-X can?

Well, I'm sorry, I don't want to sound cinical but no, I don't want. I shouldn't have replyed to you in first place as I knew you would ask me how to do it.
Test modes are for official service centers only. As a moderator of this forum I believe I should not bring this to public.

Ah, so, being a moderator of a forum gives you a status that is comparable with that of an official service center. Or maybe you are a employee of a service center. So you can have it and I can't.

Beside that, the Fantom G is mine, not that of a service center. If I would like to take it apart or test it, that's my business don't you think so? No need to do mysterious about it man, it's just a synth, not a nuclear bomb.

sutur, giving the code to you is V-CeeOh's business don't you think so? :-)

ok , here we go... The Administrator is now backing up its moderator.

Funny how things work. A lot of forums (or let's say, moderators) have this aditude. Thanks to the forum they get all kind of information, but instead of sharing that to other users, they give themselves an elite status and keep that info for themselves *gna gna*.

Sure, it's everyone's own business to give or to not give information. I only thought that this forum was to help other others and to share information. A few years ago I spent hours to help another user with a Fantom X issue. He was very thankful that I helped him. So I would like to thank you guys now for sharing your superiour status.

(No, you cannot find my earlier posts of years ago since yes, I have another username since this forum doesn't know my original username anymore and it's e-mail functionality (and also search, attachments etc) don't work.)

Never mind the testmode. You're right, since you're always right.

*edit* Oops , I forgot the smiley... please don't ban me! :-) :-) :-)

This will be my last post about this.
1 - I regret I answered you in the first place. I should have knowned better. That is solely my own fault, I know it. Still I gave you a respectfull explanation on why I was not going to tell you. I could just forgot your post and move on. I'm sorry you took that as an argument.

2 -You can see in my profile that I manage a music instrument store. So yes, you guess it, I deal a lot with Roland service. Beeing a moderator does not give me special information. Selling Roland and beeing a fan for 30 years does. The Clan benefits from my knowledge not the other way around.

3 - I don't have to show you for how long and how many users I have helped here and throughout my all life in the business. It would be plain ridiculous.

4 - It's up to you if you want to take your G apart. Don't expect me to give you the tools for that.

sutur, actually V-CeeOh is the only one in this elite as I don't know the code either! :-)

But you're being a bit impolite and exaggerate things a bit too much. I think you need to be a little more calm, no pun intended.

you could just start cycling power and holding down various buttons until the FG won't work, then you could send it to a repair center and get charged a few hundred dollars to have the FG repair/reset.

Then you could blame our fine moderators & administrator for letting you do something stupid.

And if all this fails, you could just run your car over the thing, maybe that would break it.

Test modes are dangerous and need to be performed by qualified tech's, most factory service center will not give you this information. Many time there are test modes that will put the system into endless loops, that are without exit routines.

Atlas5, is straight but absolutely correct.

"straight"?

I wasn't last night. or did you mean "strange", than I am most of the time.

If this is a compliment, then thank you.

"3 - I don't have to show you for how long and how many users I have helped here and throughout my all life in the business"

Ehm, I don't recall asking you to show that.

"But you're being a bit impolite and exaggerate things a bit too much. I think you need to be a little more calm, no pun intended."

I don't recall being impolite, I apologize if it was taken so. I wrote my responses with a big smile on my face.

Atlas5 is the one being inpolite with an aditude. Do you realy think there has to be "Roland" on your badge, or that you nickname has to be V-CeeOh in order to be able to repair or test a Fantom. Don't make a fool out of yourself by thinking that you can use that tone of voice against me, thank you.

Moving on now. Forget the testmode, I'm more interested in an answer to my other thread about reverbs and panning. That is, if anyone cares to help out.

sutur,

sorry for being inpolite with an aditude.

And I only wish I had an "Roland" badge, maybe it would lead to discounted prices.

again, sorry for any bad tone. (I try and reserve the bad tone for my music)

I am just trying to make light of any situation here and enjoying the forum and my FG.

Good luck to you and your FG adventures.

Atlas5, also sorry from my side. Didn't mean to get nasty.
Thanks and have fun
